Rain changing to snow: Syracuse weather (Monday evening update)

Over many parts of Central New York, rain has started to change to snow. However, a look at the radar screen shows that the steady precipitation will soon move to our east.

For the rest of this evening and tonight expect scattered snow showers. Most of us will see little accumulation maybe with the exception of higher elevations, and in particular, elevated areas east of Lake Ontario. The low temperature tonight will be near 30.

The wind should start to come up a bit by sunrise and that may be our most notable weather for Tuesday. Look for Tuesday to be kind of a blustery day with occasional snow showers with afternoon temperatures Tuesday in the mid 30s

Little if any accumulation is expected Tuesday with one exception.

East of Lake Ontario, steadier snow showers are likely, partly due to lake Ontario and partly due to a moist atmosphere. Over the Tug hill for example, 2-6 inches is a good bet.
